It’s nice to be able to charge your laptop at your desk, with a cord that snakes behind the desk, and not have to go in and undo all that just to get power to your laptop when you’re out and about.
And if you’re not getting out with your laptop, having a second charger is still useful. I have a makeshift standing desk with my laptop on top of my dresser. With a second charger set up like this, I can shift from standing to sitting on my schedule, not my laptop’s battery’s.
I think the advice would be best phrased as, ”nth laptop charger,” where n is the number of locations you use your laptop regularly. For me, one at home, one at work and one in my bag is sufficient.
PS: why do you pack two in your travel luggage? Just in case one gets lost/left behind in a hotel room?
Strictly speaking, they’re not both laptop chargers, but laptop/phone/USB-C chargers. So two of them are useful on the road for charging laptop and phone simultaneously.
A second laptop charger.

Ahem: a fifth laptop/USB-C charger. (One each for my couch, desk, and bedroom; two stay packed in my travel luggage.)
h/t to Zvi for making this suggestion in Dual Weilding, under the general heading of More Dakka.
